Investment conditions

The St Kitts and Nevis citizenship programme offers two investment options:

$150,000+ — a non-refundable contribution to the Sustainable Growth Fund;
$200,000+ — purchase of the real estate.

The investment sum depends on the size of the family. The investor pays an additional $25,000 for a spouse, $10,000 for a parent or a child, and $20,000 for a sibling.

The investor can buy a share in the real estate project approved by the government. The share must cost $200,000 or $400,000. In the first case, it can be sold after 7 years, in the second one — in 5 years. Moreover, if the investor files an application for citizenship by investment before November 1st, 2022, they can buy a villa on the islands that costs $400,000+.

Besides the investment, an applicant must pay a Due Diligence fee for every person over 16 years old, government charges and services fees.
